Hi, Maybe you should try to launch syslog-ng with debug & verbose options to see error. I had some seg fault with ssl and syslog-ng and it's now fixed thanks to a patch posted on this mailing list.

When I try to start the server it starts. Though the client doesn't give me any errors it doesn't start. I suppose the certificate may crate some problems. tanks for help Luigi ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng FAQ: http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
